The Future Looks Very Good

[_RT_]

WHile arguing in the main board I did a little bit of study on the Tigers and came up with the following list:

Shane Tuck (47)
Brett Deledio (43)
Jay Schulz (37)
Brent Hartigan (34)
Richard Tamblling (33)
Andrew Raines (29)
Nathan Foley (27)
Daniel Jackson (21)
Dean Polo (17)
Adam Pattison (17)
Danny Meyer (14)
Matthew White (11)
Cameron Howat (5) rookie listed in 07.

All have played less than 50 games and while this list is impressive it must also be said we have the second highest number in the AFL regarding kids to have debuted and played less than 50 games. It looks good for the future when you consider we have yet to debut Casserly and the 5 kids taken this year. In about 3 years time we will have a solid group of 20 kids with between 50-100 games all quite highly talented and hopefully the group that will take the Tigers to that elusive Premiership.

Yeah but... lets not count our chickens fella's.

Looks good, but plenty of other clubs would be just as impressed with their young list for the future.

 

[Haggard H]

In my relatively short time no bigfooty I don't think I've ever seen such a positive thread - everyone excited and in agreement - and I also reckon it's a very exciting young list .. but then along comes Balls of Steel ...
